No recommendations for this finding
F9
Regarding inspection of board and care homes. Response: The finding would benefit from some clarification. The number of units in a board and care home, halfway house, or treatment house is not the factor that is used to determine the types of inspections that a complex will receive. The number of residents is the operative factor. The permitting of facilities that provide treatment or services or house six or fewer residents is regulated by the State. Current state law does not allow the City to require a use permit on these types of facilities. Inspections related to health and safety are performed on such facilities as complaints are received or as neighborhoods receive focused code enforcement review.
